Assumptions: Revenue grows linearly from first-client month to month 6, then holds steady. Costs are constant. Exchange rate used: $1 = ₦1,650. Tool costs converted from USD. These are estimates - real results depend on niche, effort, and market conditions. This calculator does not account for taxes, infrastructure one-offs, or client acquisition costs beyond your time.
